George Frisbie House, 100 Lovely St.

George Frisbie House, c. 1910. Colonial Revival style with wood shingle siding and a prominent gambrel roof. Two covered porch entry ways are supported with columns and balustrades, and a fieldstone basement foundation is the footing for the original part of the home. A newer addition is seen on the right side with a cast concrete foundation. This house has a variety of window designs: half-round fanlight attic awnings, diamond pane, 6 lite, and 1 lite double hung, 1 lite casement and bay windows.

George Frisbie, born in 1846, served in the Civil War 1861-1865. Being only 15 when he enlisted, Frisbie lied about his age. He was captured on 4/20/1864 at the Battle of Plymouth, NC. Frisbie was remanded to the infamous Andersonville Prison in Anderson, GA. He was released on 2/28/65. He was mustered out of the Unionville Volunteers on 6/24/1865.

In 1908 Frisbie's second wife Mary Ripley Frisbie purchased the property. In 1910 George and Mary Frisbie remortgaged the property “with buildings”, dating the house to 1908-1910.
